Last weekend Triumph requested me to test their new “Triumph Street Triple 765 S” and boy o boy who could put down this request .Triumph had done lot of homework before putting this product in market.This naked middle weight street fighter competes with Kawasaki Z900 and Ducati Monster 797 in its range.Kawasaki Z900 and Ducati Monster 797 are old school bikes which meant you just start and drive there are no riding modes or ride by wire technology or traction control.So what do you get in the package of Rs 10,70,000 which is an road price for Triump Street Triple 765 S.<\/p>\n
My route was Satara Road .Crossed the ghat and came back.Total two way journey was 140 kms. Bike was on rain mode and infact it did rain but I was not worried much as traction control was on too.However we had to stop in mid way as my partner was driving Street Twin which doesn’t have any riding modes.<\/p>\n
Does it live upto expectations?<\/strong> –\u00a0 At first glance, the new Triumph Street Triple appears almost identical to its predecessor. However, a closer look reveals differences in detailings.<\/p>\n The tail section of the 2017 Street Triple looks all-new with sleeker and sharper panels, and a split type seat. The shorter exhaust pipe enhances the appeal. Another positive change is the new gull wing swing-arm, while the alloys have been retained from the predecessor as they were already perfect for the design. The new model definitely looks more premium and does turn more heads than the older version.<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Triumph Street Triple RS Launch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The most catchy change in the motorcycle is the revised shape of its twin headlamp setup — shared with the bigger Speed Triple ,that looks much better than the previous generation. Moreover, the new visor and the air intake mounted between the headlamp setup makes it sportier. While the styling may take ‘some getting used to’, but it looks unmistakably dominating and purposeful. The main perimeter frame of the bike – which is made out of race-spec alloy – remains unchanged while slight changes in the rear subframe are clearly visual. The masculine fuel tank of the bike also remains untouched while the smaller tank shrouds are new.<\/p>\n How’s the new engine? –<\/strong>The 2017 Triumph Street Triple S gets a new, bigger 765cc engine that replaces the old 675cc engine. It is the same high-revving inline-three motor that is supplied for the Moto2 bikes in MotoGP – with a few alterations, and is also expected to power the next-gen Daytona. In the Street Triple S version, the motor has been tuned to deliver 113PS at 11,500rpm and 73Nm of torque at 9000rpm. Besides the numbers, the real world performance of the bike is also impressive and way better than its predecessor. Every twist on the throttle gives the same feeling that comes from a middleweight race machine. Also, the new Euro4 exhaust screams louder thanks to the new airbox which Triumph had brought in.<\/p>\n
